Tax Rebate

Hi
My OH requires a licence for his work for which he can claim rebate. The licence requires renewing every 2 years, how do we know we claimed for the last licence. Is it something to do with the tax code?
Thanks
Ms C

Sorry, but this makes no sense, what exactly are you asking?
Are you trying to work out if you got a tax code adjustment because of the licence?
Is your OH an employee or self-employed?
Who pays for this licence?I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove a thing!

It may make sense if the OP is referring to tax relief for professional fees and subscriptions. And yes, it is normally done by increasing the tax code.

Apologies, yes my OH is trying to make a claim for professional fees (a licence without which he is unable to work).
He is an employee.
He pays for the licence.Thrifty Till 50 Then Spend Till the End

Two years ago it was tax year 2015/16 and the standard code was 1060L. Chances are that if your OH was on code 1060L he did not claim but there are other reasons why his code may have been different to the standard.
I would think his best bet would be to check with HMRC. He could phone and ask or complete a form P87.

If he completes a form P87 and has already claimed they won't bite his head off or send him to jail. They will just reply saying he has already had the correct relief.
Just in case it matters, he could also claim for 2013/14 now (same phone call or separate form P87.0 -
